The HelMod Monte Carlo Model for the Propagation of Cosmic Rays in Heliosphere / Boschini, M.J., Della Torre, S., Gervasi, M., Grandi, D., La Vacca, G., Pensotti, S., Rancoita, P.G., Rozza, D., Tacconi, M.. - 13:335(2017), pp. 276-279. [10.1017/S1743921317007359]
abstract:
The heliospheric modulation model HelMod solves the transport-equation for Galactic Cosmic Ray propagation through the heliosphere down to Earth. It is based on a 2-D Monte Carlo approach that includes a general description of the symmetric and antisymmetric parts of the diffusion tensor, thus properly treating the particle drift effects as well as convection within the solar wind and adiabatic energy loss. The model was tuned in order to fit 1) the data observed outside the ecliptic plane at several distances from the Earth and 2) the spectra observed near the Earth for both, high and low solar activity periods. Great importance was given to description of polar regions of the heliosphere. We present the flux for protons, antiprotons and helium nuclei computed for solar cycle 23-24 in comparison with experimental observations and prediction for the full solar cycle 24.
